Status Indicator Panel

Figure 2-8 Status Indicator Panel

Status Indicator Panel

The Status Indicator displays symbols that correspond

with a specific component of your Fujitsu LifeBook

notebook. These symbols (when visible) tell you how

each of those components is operating. (Figure 2-8)

POWER INDICATOR

The Power indicator symbol states whether your system

is operational. It has several different states, each of

which tells you what mode your LifeBook notebook is in

at that time.

■

Steady On: This means that there is power to your

LifeBook notebook and that it is ready for use.

■

Flashing: This means that your LifeBook notebook is

in Suspend mode.

■

Steady Off (not visible): This means that your system

is either in Save-to-Disk mode, or that your LifeBook

notebook has been turned off with the power switch.

If you are charging your battery, the Power indicator

symbol will remain on even if your LifeBook notebook is

shut off. The Power indicator symbol will also remain on

if you have either adapter connected and are shut down

from Windows, but have not turned off the power

switch.

AC ADAPTER INDICATOR

The AC Adapter indicator states whether your LifeBook

notebook is operating from the AC adapter, the Auto/

Airline adapter or the batteries. This icon has two

different states that can tell you what power source your

LifeBook notebook is using.

■

On: This means that either of the adapters are

currently in use.

■

Off: Power is only coming from the batteries, and you

do not have an adapter connected.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

The Battery Level indicator states whether or not the

primary Lithium ion battery is installed. In addition,

this symbol states how much charge is available within

the battery. The symbol will only be displayed for a

battery that is currently installed in your LifeBook note-

book. (Figure 2-9)
